Huntington Beach Pier would host a series of mixed results from the ASP Top 17, with both shock upsets and top scores from the event\\u2019s top seeds.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Silvana Lima (BRA), 28, current ASP No. 14, earned a crucial Round 1 victory at the Vans US Open of Surfing, relegating reigning five-time ASP World Champion and former event winner Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 25, and rookie Bianca Buitendag (ZAF), 19, to Round 2. Lima has struggled to find her rhythm this season following an injury plagued 2012 and is out to turn her year around with a big result this week. \\u201cI feel really good,\\u201d Lima said. \\u201cThis is my best Round 1 result and usually I have to surf in Round 2 here in Huntington. I\\u2019m happy to skip that round 2. I\\u2019ve had a tough year, but I\\u2019m feeling really good and it\\u2019s nice to have some waves. Hopefully I can keep going.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Pauline Ado (FRA), 22, current ASP World No. 13, was responsible for one of the day\\u2019s upsets while making a crucial step towards requalifying for the 2014 WCT. The talented regular-footer would take a massive Round 1 victory over defending event champion Lakey Peterson (USA), 19, and dangerous Hawaiian Coco Ho (HAW), 22, advancing directly to Round 3 of competition. \\u201cI started off slow in that heat and the girls were paddling around me,\\u201d Ado said. \\u201cThen I got that good score. I need to get good results the rest of the year. I\\u2019ve lost in the fourth round a lot of times and it\\u2019s good to be in round three already. Hopefully I can make another heat and get some important points.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Alana Blanchard (HAW), 22, current ASP World No. 10, contributed to the day of upsets, defeating current rankings leader Tyler Wright (AUS), 19, and wildcard Leila Hurst (HAW), 19, in their Round 1 battle. \\u201cCompeting here is amazing and I love the support from the fans,\\u201d Blanchard said. \\u201cIt makes the event that much more fun. I always want to surf my best and I try not to really think about the crowd. Coming in to this event, I\\u2019m just trying not to think about the ratings. I usually do better when I\\u2019m having fun with it all.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;While several event favorites were relegated to Round 2, half of the event\\u2019s top seeds dominated their heats, earning the day\\u2019s high scores. Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 22, 2011 event champion, dominated her heat with committed combinations on both her forehand and backhand, earning the Women\\u2019s high heat total of 16.70 out of 20.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cReally great coming back to Huntington and US Open week is always a unique experience,\\u201d Fitzgibbons said. \\u201cThe heats are spread out, but our weeks are filled in with lots of other things. There are big crowds and it\\u2019s good fun. I think the more time I\\u2019ve been on tour I just draw from experience and have that confidence even when I\\u2019m not competing. I\\u2019ve been training and feel really strong.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Carissa Moore (HAW), 20, 2010 US Open Champion, admittedly felt out of sorts following the long break between events, but still managed to take a commanding Round 1 victory compliments of polished forehand surfing. \\u201cI just got done surfing my first heat here and I didn\\u2019t feel that good, but it was good to just surf a heat,\\u201d Moore said. \\u201cI haven\\u2019t surfed a heat since Brazil, so it\\u2019s been about two months and I\\u2019m just happy to have the jersey on again.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Moore, former ASP World Champion and current No. 2, knows an additional crown is well within reach, but is trying to focus on another strong heat at the Vans US Open rather than the title race. \\u201cI\\u2019m just taking it heat-by-heat like I always do,\\u201d Moore said. \\u201cIf you start overthinking things you\\u2019ll fall to the pressure so right now I\\u2019m trying to figure out Huntington. It\\u2019s always a little tricky so I\\u2019m going to just take it day-by-day. It\\u2019d be awesome to win here again. To win in front of this crowd would be awesome, but we\\u2019ll see what happens.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Courtney Conlogue (USA), 20, current ASP World No. 4 and local favorite, dominated her opening heat, capitalizing on her intimate knowledge of the Huntington Beach Lineup to secure a convincing Round 1 win. The Californian is hunting a big result in the only American Women\\u2019s WCT event this season and hopes to build momentum as the rounds progress. \\u201cLot of support here and I love being here in my hometown,\\u201d Conlogue. \\u201cI love sleeping in my own bed and getting my coffee before. It just gives me a lot of confidence. I really want to get a good result here. I\\u2019ve got two fifths and it\\u2019d be good to replace that. I\\u2019d like to build momentum and not peak too soon and hopefully I can put on a good show for everyone.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;While several top seeds stumbled in Women\\u2019s Round 1, ASP WCT surfers continued to rampage through the early rounds of men\\u2019s ASP Prime competition with defending event champion Julian Wilson (AUS), 24, leading the charge.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Wilson would ignite the highest scores of the Vans US Open, launching a massive backside air-rotation for a near-perfect 9.83 out of 10. The Australian would combine the score with an additional excellent ride of 8.30, securing the event\\u2019s high heat-total of 18.03 out of 20. \\u201cThat air felt good,\\u201d Wilson said. \\u201cIt was one of the ones that you just go for and you don\\u2019t always have the highest percentage on, but I kind of surprised myself. I was in a position in the heat where I could go for it. It was good to land it and it gives me confidence.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Michel Bourez (PYF), 27, continued his dominance at the Vans US Open today, besting Miguel Pupo (BRA), 21, while eliminating local hero Brett Simpson (Huntington Beach), 27, with his patented power game. \\u201cI\\u2019m not an air guy and I just stick to my plan,\\u201d Bourez said. \\u201cI knew Miguel (Pupo) would go for big airs and you never know with Brett (Simpson). I think he injured himself, but I hope he\\u2019s alright.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow\\u2019s Vans US Open of Surfing schedule will be action packed with Women\\u2019s WCT, Men\\u2019s Prime and Pro Junior action unfolding at Huntington Beach Pier.
